Mutu factfile

The statement received from a Fifa spokesman on Friday read: "According to the decision of the DRC [Dispute Resolution Chamber], the clubs, Juventus and Livorno, are held jointly responsible, together with the player, Adrian Mutu, for payment of the amount of compensation that the player has been ordered to pay to the club, Chelsea.

"The concerned parties were notified of the relevant decision on 7 October 2013.

Chelsea sought compensation from Mutu in order to recover a large amount of the fee they paid to sign him, a bid that Fifa, the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and finally - after five years of legal disputes - the Swiss Federal Court supported. The compensation figure, based on lost earnings, was calculated on the length of time Mutu's Chelsea contract had left to run, and was the highest handed down by Fifa.
